Emerald Isle Mafia #2
Dublin Devil
He is the most feared man in Dublin, and his reputation is hard-earned.
As the second born to the Quinn family, while my older brother, Tag, navigates the politics of running of our territory, I run our army.
The Dublin Devils is the Quinn motorcycle club, and we are a powerful force.
Roaring through the Dublin streets, I command both fear and respect from everyone north of the River Liffey—and from much of the McGuire territory to the south of the river as well.
Not that Quinns go south of the river.
The territorial lines between our two rival families were set in place by Da years ago, and even after his death, we honor the agreement.
The McGuires honor nothing.
So, when Piper McGuire, daughter of our enemy, shows up on our side of the river, bloody and beaten, there’s only one logical answer—send her back.
With tensions already high between our two families, she’s everything we don’t want or need.
And yet, despite hating myself for it—I do want her.
And even knowing it can never work—I do need her.
But there’s another problem…she’s betrothed to another.
Dublin Devil is Book 2 in the Emerald Isle Mafia series. This is a Dark Mafia Romance full of heat, betrayal, and survival that will take your heart hostage and never let go. Each book is a connected standalone with a completed story and HEA. This is a spicy Dark Mafia, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, arranged marriage romance, which features scenes of a violent as well as explicit sexual nature.

If it wasn't for the insanely delicious audio, I likely would have DNF’d this after the second
bad
sex scene. I enjoyed the story, not the sex. This author needs lessons from Marni Mann on how to write good sex. That likely won’t matter to a lot of readers, but it does to matter to me.
Sean Quinn (29, prez of Dublin Devils MC) is working with his brothers to determine next steps in the power struggle with the other mafia families, the McGuires being the biggest threat. Cruising back to the MC clubhouse, he spots a mess of a woman lying in the streets. Discovering her identity complicates both his and his family’s lives.
Piper McGuire (19, virgin, PR student) was excited when her father asked her to play hostess to some powerful Russians they are trying to align themselves with. When the Russians let her know exactly what type of deal they made with her father, she ends up fighting for her life.
Even though he’s supposed to be the enemy, Sean is a perfect gentleman. He's determined to keep Piper safe and discover the truth about who hurt her.
Piper struggles to accept the truth and to believe the Quinns aren’t the awful people she’s heard about. Sean struggles with keeping his distance from her.
Family fighting, marriage contracts, taking back power, cherry pop tarts, knife fights, gun fights, a funeral, reading of the will, and a HFN with a cliffy regarding the Quinn family enemies.
SEX: Their first time is at 33% with no condoms, but don’t get too excited. The sex scenes are TERRIBLE, and almost just fade out. There are no details at all. You get stupid shit like, “I close my eyes and let the memory of last night wash over me. He was thoughtful and careful about everything. And after he came inside me, he got a warm cloth and cleaned me up” WTF! Give me the motherfucking sex!!! Don’t just tell me you had sex, GIVE ME THE SEX!!! JFC why do you think I read romance?!?! I was so damn mad I nearly quit listening to it. If anyone is curious, their sex doesn’t result in a pregnancy.
PIPER: Overall, she’s decent. I applaud that she went after what she wanted sexually and didn’t play the timid and shy virgin. You go, girl!! She did struggle with being loyal to her family at the beginning, but eventually she got with the program. The main thing she did to piss me off was question the Quinn’s integrity. Girl, please. Don’t act stupid.
LOVE: I needed more. I had the same issue in the last book. There aren’t enough declarations of love. No big confession of feelings. Nothing they did made me swoon. I think that’s why the audio played a big part, because without it I wouldn’t believe they were in love.
SA: The first time Piper is nearly sexually assaulted, her dress is ripped and she’s beaten up, but that’s as far as it got. The second time, fingers are used to check her virginity, nothing else happens. It wasn’t done in a sexual lust kind of way, more like a medical way. I’m not saying it’s not sexual assault, just giving context.
AUDIO: It’s a duet. I want to know why the hell these narrators haven’t narrated more books! It’s outrageous. I’ve never heard them before, but let me tell you, they’ve made an impact. Jameson Adams has been added to the sexiest man alive list. Holy fuck. I’ve been riding his mouth since I heard him say his first word! June deBorahae is another one I’ve never heard of, and I’m not embarrassed to say, she actually has a sexy voice. I could live with her narrating every FMC in the future. It’s quite possible that I would have DNF’d after the second shitty sex scene if it hadn’t been for the sexy fucking audio. It’s so amazing.
SIDE PIECES: There are a ton of characters in this series. I’m trying to keep up with the names because I’m sure they’ll come up again in this series. It’s likely that I’ve missed a few.
Quinns:
Tag, Sean, Brendan and Bryan (Twins), and Finn.
Cormack Quinn: Dad (deceased).
Laine: Tag’s wife.
Dublin Devil’s MC:
Keefer Gallagher: Club VP.
Kieran O’Brien: Sergeant at Arms.
Other members: Maxim, Drake, Micky, Tig, Garret, and Frenchie.
McGuires:
Matthew "Mattie" McGuire: Mafia leader.
Samantha McGuire: Mattie's wife.
McGuire Brothers: Darcy, Ryan, Declan, Niall, Rory, and Brody.
McGuire Daughter: Piper.
Billy Gravely: Mattie McGuire’s enforcer.
Russians:
Anton Volkov: Bratva leader of the Shadow Sickle Syndicate out of St. Petersburg.
Vladimir Volkov: Cousin to Anton.
Arkady Sidorov: Bratva enforcer.
Others:
Seamus Peterson: Dublin cop.
Clare Malloy: Piper’s college friend.
Siobhan Daley: Bitch from Tag's past.
Grady Henessey: Quinn enforcer.
Aiden Kelly: Tag's right hand.
Jimmy Frances: Pub owner.
Ginny: Waitress.
Doc Kelvin: Quinn family doctor.
Lloyd Simpson: McGuire attorney.
Connie Flaherty: Simpson’s assistant.
Rose: Quinn family friend. True relationship unknown.
Cora: Quinn housekeeper.
Connor: Quinn groundskeeper and Cora's husband.
Andrew: Quinn guard.
Gareth Campbell: Another mafia family.
Tessiano: Chicago crime family.
Marco Moneta: Laine’s husband.
Milton Moneta: Marco’s father. Laine’s father-in-law.
Am I in love with Piper? Even as I ask myself the question, I know the answer. I began falling in love with her from the moment I picked her up from that sidewalk. It didn’t matter that she was beaten and bloody—she stole my breath as quickly as she stole my heart.
Sean Quinn (29, prez of Dublin Devils MC) is working with his brothers to determine next steps in the power struggle with the other mafia families, the McGuires being the biggest threat. Cruising back to the MC clubhouse, he spots a mess of a woman lying in the streets. Discovering her identity complicates both his and his family’s lives.
I try not to think about the heart-wrenching sight of Piper’s world shattering, but being sucked into her glassy eyes nearly did me in.... It’s like I have a pathological compulsion to protect her, to keep the evils of her life at bay until she gets back on her feet.
Piper McGuire (19, virgin, PR student) was excited when her father asked her to play hostess to some powerful Russians they are trying to align themselves with. When the Russians let her know exactly what type of deal they made with her father, she ends up fighting for her life.
All she ever wanted was to be considered equal and useful to others. The McGuires were too stupid to see her value. I will never make that mistake.
Even though he’s supposed to be the enemy, Sean is a perfect gentleman. He's determined to keep Piper safe and discover the truth about who hurt her.
I’m Sean-fucking-Quinn. I’m the enemy. A ruffian. An MC president and killer. Why the fuck is she biting her bottom lip and batting her lashes as if I’m playing the part in her bad-boy fantasy?
Piper struggles to accept the truth and to believe the Quinns aren’t the awful people she’s heard about. Sean struggles with keeping his distance from her.
He may be hard on the outside, but Sean Quinn has a gooey center
Family fighting, marriage contracts, taking back power, cherry pop tarts, knife fights, gun fights, a funeral, reading of the will, and a HFN with a cliffy regarding the Quinn family enemies.
Sean Quinn can be violently protective—I acknowledge that. He will kill to keep me safe, but he’s also endlessly romantic and giving…..He shows me more consideration than anyone ever has—and I love him for it. Soul deep, heart hammering, love.
SEX: Their first time is at 33% with no condoms, but don’t get too excited. The sex scenes are TERRIBLE, and almost just fade out. There are no details at all. You get stupid shit like, “I close my eyes and let the memory of last night wash over me. He was thoughtful and careful about everything.

🍀Forced Proximity
🍀touch her and 💀
🍀Forbidden love
🍀irish & Russian Mafia
🍀virgin
Like his brother Tag, Sean is very protective. They live by a code, protect & help those who are in need, keep their streets safe. Being Mafia, there are enemies. His encounter one night leads him & his family down the path of more blood shed.
Piper, the only daughter of the McGuires, finds herself in an awful situation, beating and bloody makes her way over the bridge to enemy territory, she soon finds out everything she was told/lead to belive about the Quinn men is far from the truth. And who the real enemy is.
The instant attraction between these to i was here for it.
These Quinn men just keep getting better.
Can't wait for more.
June deBorahae is a new narrator to me
I will definitely enjoy hearing here again.
Jameson Adams that Irish accent was spot on.

It was an okay read, enjoyed the h a tad more than the H.
I so wished for more character development, but alas it wasn’t terrible just not enough. Same thing with the romance aspect. They fell into bed so quickly but how did they fell in love?

I almost gave up whenever h thought that she should still be loyal to her family, she should still go back home because her mom would worry sick. Hello, you were sold by your father!
Worst of all, after she insisted on going back home to face her family, she was assaulted, that was kind of rape, too.

Book 2 in The Emerald Isle series and listened to as a stand alone; though I will be finishing book 1 by the time this is posted 😌
The DD is a short and fast romance story, that had me finishing it in one sitting. It was a quick listen filled with forbidden romance, an age gap (almost 10 years), a broody MC leader and a very strong willed Ma-fia princess. Think Mafia/MC, but the Quinns have a conscious!
I loved the Irish accents and storytelling performed by @junedeborahae and @jamesonadamsnarrates. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something short and ahem *adventurous*. It will have you entertained!

🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧
The Capulets and the Montagues have nothing on the rivalry of the McGuires and the Quinns. And the love found between Piper and Sean despite warnings from their families would put Romeo and Juliet to shame.
June DeBorahae depicted Piper’s naivety so perfectly, and even as Piper discovers the truth about her family, June’s performance grows with her. Jameson Adams perfectly portrays the broodiness of MC president, Sean, while also nailing his more tender moments behind closed doors just for Piper.
Dublin Devil by Jenn Madore and Carolina Mac is book two in the Emerald Isle Mafia series. Performed in duet narration by June DeBorahae and Jameson Adams. Produced by Blue Nose Audio.

Dublin Devil is Book 2 in the Emerald Isle Series. This is Sean and Piper's story. Sean is the second born in the Quinn family, while his older brother, Tag, navigates the politics of running their territory and Sean runs their army. The Dublin Devils is the Quinn motorcycle club and they are a powerful force. He commands fear and respect from everyone north of the river, while the Mcguires take control on the south of the river. So, when Piper is found on Sean's side of the river, bloody and hurt he takes her in. As they get to spend more time together another problem arises. Piper later finds out she is betrothed to another.
I loved this book! I definitely liked this one a little more than the previous book. The writing flowed and was fast paced as well. Sean and Piper were so cute! Sean had me swooning. I loved how overprotective he was of Piper. He always had her best interests at heart. I enjoyed their banter. It was hilarious. Despite the age gap they complemented eachother. Piper was very mature for her age. I also loved that she didn't let her father dictate how to live her life.
Most recently I listened to the audiobook and loved it! Performed in duet by June Deborahae and Jameson Adams. These two were wonderful. Jameson is a new to me narrator. I loved his Irish accent. It was deep, but stern exuding Sean's broodiness. June also had a great Irish accent. Her tone was soft, but with lots of fire in it. She exuded Piper's will to survive. I felt the chemistry between Sean and Piper. As for the transitions between American and Irish accents, they were very good. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Audiobook coming soon!

**Audio review**
This book was a pleasant surprise! I'm not typically a mafia romance fan, but this book had me hooked from the beginning. Something about it drew me in and had me finishing the audiobook in 2 days.
The enemies-to-lovers trope was played out really well, considering Sean and Piper are from rival Irish mafia families. When Piper is all but dropped on Sean's doorstep after suffering at the hands of her own family, however, that rivalry is thrown out of the window.
Sean is a bit of an enigma, in that he is a mafioso and leader of a motorcycle club, yet he seems to have a good conscience and is fiercely protective of Piper when he finds out what she has been through with her own family. Piper has grown up under the abusive thumb of her father, and it has shaped her into a shell of a young woman. When she crosses into enemy territory one night and is rescued by Sean, she is taken under his wing and begins to learn what love can look like.
I liked them both as characters, despite some questionable decisions (going back to her family for a funeral despite what they've put her through?). The story was fairly action-packed and well paced, and the storyline kept me engaged throughout. Although this is the second in a series, it read well as a standalone and was easy to jump into without having read the first book.
Jameson was a new narrator for me, and I really enjoyed his performance. I will look forward to hearing more of him in the future. I have listened to several books by June, and I think that she is a powerhouse of a narrator. They both did an excellent job with maintaining the Irish accents throughout the story.

LOVED THIS! Best book of the series so far (I’ve read books 1-3 already)! Sean was being set up as the bad boy biker but this book immediately quashed those characterizations when Sean quickly put the Quinn Laws into action. He offered assistance to an injured woman, presumably an innocent - both of which the Quinn Laws identify as untouchables. When he discovers it is Piper, the daughter of their arch rival, he continues administering aid with the intention of helping her as well as protecting the best interest of the Quinn family as Piper was found on their side of the river. Once bother main characters recognize the other in the uncomfortable situation, we get a glimpse into their inner desires and naughty thoughts. The age difference bothered Sean more than it did me or Piper. I was hooting and hollering for her to act upon what she viewed as a crush and take sexy advantage of the situation they were in. I was floored when she so openly invited Sean to engage in a sexual liaison with her and thought I misheard the narrator of the audiobook, even listening to the scene twice to make sure I didn’t misunderstand Piper’s invitation and intention. The way Piper was accepted into the Quinn family by the end was heartwarming and a true testament to the Laws McCormack Quinn established and the way he raised his family. This was a happily ever after ending (or beginning) for Piper and she deserved the love of not just Sean but an entire family after the horror she was subjected to by her own father.

Audiobook Review--Dublin Rogue by Jenn Madore and Carolina Mac
Duet Narration by June DeBorahae and Jameson Adams
4.5⭐
“I shouldn’t want you. Every code I live by tells me to send you away. But my body, my heart…they’ve already decided otherwise.”
Tropes:
Enemies-to-lovers
Forced proximity
Arranged marriage
Mafia royalty/motorcycle club
Forbidden attraction
Survivor FMC
As the second-born of the Quinn clan, Sean commands fear and respect as the leader of the Dublin Devils motorcycle club. Piper McGuire, the daughter of a rival family, shows up battered and vulnerable—but she awakens desires in him he can’t suppress. Between family rivalries, forbidden attraction, and her engagement to another, their connection is explosive and impossible to ignore.
June DeBorahae’s performance as Piper gave her just the right mix of resilience and vulnerability, while Jameson Adams made Sean both commanding and dangerously alluring. Together, they elevated this story to a visceral, heart-pounding experience.
This book hits all the right notes and leaves you craving more from the Emerald Isle Mafia series. High-stakes romance, family politics, and steamy, dangerous love—it has it all.

This is the second audiobook in the Emerald Isle Mafia Series and while it can be listened to as a standalone, I am going to listen to the first audiobook to get some background of the dynamics at play. There are two families that control the area: the McGuires and the Quinns. Each family has their role but while the McGuires use force and whatever means possible to secure what they want, the Quinns live by a code and protect the innocent. Piper McGuire is looking to move up in her family and is under the impression that after her last task, it will happen…until the unthinkable occurs and she winds up running for her life. Sean Quinn is done for as soon as he sees Piper but what will happen when he realizes who she is? The authors are new to me, but this storyline is infused with drama, spice and a whirlwind of action to keep one’s ears glued to the headphones. The narrators, June deBorahae and Jameson Adams are new to me and they do an admirable job bringing the characters to life in duet style. Overall, it is an enjoyable listen, but I will caution those with triggers to read the content warnings and proceed with care.
This is the second audiobook in the Emerald Isle Mafia Series and while it can be listened to as a standalone, I am going to listen to the first audiobook to get some background of the dynamics at play. There are two families that control the area: the McGuires and the Quinns. Each family has their role but while the McGuires use force and whatever means possible to secure what they want, the Quinns live by a code and protect the innocent. Piper McGuire is looking to move up in her family and is under the impression that after her last task, it will happen…until the unthinkable occurs and she winds up running for her life. Sean Quinn is done for as soon as he sees Piper but what will happen when he realizes who she is?

I am completely invested in this story and honestly I have so many questions. Sean and Piper captured my attention so quickly. I mean who doesn't love an age gap/forbidden romance?
Poor Piper just wants to fit into the family business somewhere. She is the youngest of the McGuire children and the only daughter. Just when she thinks her crazy father is actually letting her into the business she gets a very wide awakening into how her father actually sees her. Be prepared to despise her father with every fiber of your being....I did.
Sean is not only one of the Quinn sons but also the president of the Dublin Devils MC club. He is also Piper's black knight. Him being the one to find her in his territory is the best thing that could have happened to her. He had nothing but distaste for her father before her and now, after caring for her that has just intensified.
I love the connection these two have. Age gap...who cares, the daughter of his enemy...she is better off with the Quinn's anyway. He is so sweet with her and so caring. He will do whatever it takes to protect her and make her his.
I definitely know my liking of this story was enhanced by narrators June deBorahae and Jameson Adams. I have yet to listen to an audio that June narrates and not completely love her work. She is so freaking talented!!! She even has an Irish accent in this one. Then there is Jameson Adams who is a new to me narrator and WOW....I enjoyed him. Their voices compliment each other very well leaving the listener wanting more.

Dublin Devil by Jenn Madore & Carolina Mac was a fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled ride that kept me hooked from start to finish! As book 2 in the Emerald Isle Mafia Series, it delivered high stakes, intense passion, and all the danger you’d expect from a mafia romance.
Piper and Sean’s instant connection was so well-written that I didn’t just believe it, I felt it. Piper has been through hell, and watching her rise above it all had me completely invested. And Sean? From the second he stepped in, he was all in, protecting her, standing by her side, and proving that nothing, not even the mafia’s deadly grip, could keep him from her.
The audiobook was perfection. June deBorahae embodied Piper’s fiery, feisty spirit, and Jameson Adams his Irish accent and raw intensity made Sean’s character leap off the page. The danger, the devotion, the mafia chaos, this story had everything!
If you love action-packed mafia romance with a swoon-worthy, protective hero, this one’s a must-listen!

Dublin Devil is the second book in the Emerald Isle Mafia series. Sean is the second oldest Quinn brother. He is the President of the Dublin Devil’s MC. Piper is the only daughter of the rival Mafia family. She is Mad Mattie McGuires’ daughter. Piper has been trying to prove to her family that she could be an asset to the family business. However, a woman will never have a place in the McGuires’ business. She had blinders on in regard to her father and brothers. Piper was told to go and show the Russian a good time to help soften the deals. She didn’t agree to marry one of them in trade for guns. She ran for her life. The safest place away from her father and the Russians was across the river in the Quinn territory. Sean found her battered and bruised and took her to safety. Piper had caught his eye before but she was too young for him. Now she is an adult he can’t turn his eyes. Piper had always had a crush on Sean. She never thought he would be her savior and captor at the same time. This book moves fast. I love how Sean will do anything to keep Piper safe. Can’t wait for more from the series.
June deBorahae and Jameson Adams did a phenomenal job narrating this book in duet style narration.

This is the first book by Jenn Madore and Carolina Mac that I have read and I am going to have to back and read the first one now!
Dublin Devil was an enjoyable read. There wasn't a lot of surprise in the story and the FMC did annoy me at times with how naive she was but she did eventually grow a backbone. The MMC was written well and I didn't feel like there was a ton of growth there with Sean but overall I liked his character and storyline. The ending felt a bit unfinished with things not being fully resolved (I really wanted to find out what Billy did to Piper and get some better resolution to his storyline) but it could become resolved in the next books. I will definitely be continuing on with the series as I am looking forward to seeing what happens next! Solid 3.5-4 stars for me.
The narration was amazing. Both narrators were new to me and they did a fantastic job with the Irish accents and switching to an American accent when needed. 5 stars for the narration.

(Duet Narration Audiobook) We continue on with the Quinn mafia series with the second brother Sean, the head of the Quinn MC. He finds Pyper McGuire, the daughter of a rival mafia leader, bloody and beaten in his territory. Sean takes her in and gets her help. Pyper learns that her father was going to sell her off to members of the Bratva to be married and as a bonus to an arms deal. They’re taken with each other and can’t deny their chemistry.
I liked that Pyper was able to see through her family’s lies and realize what type of people they are. Her taking agency in her own life was great. I loved when Sean stood up to his brother and insisted that Pyper was his family now as well and they needed to take care of her. This was a quick book with plenty of action.
June DeBorahae and Jameson Adams’ narration was pretty good. Their Irish accents did slip at times but overall I enjoyed their work.

This one kept that same vibe I loved from Dublin Rogue, and honestly, I liked it.
Spice rating: 3 🌶️
Star rating: 4 ⭐
Again, I know this technically sits in “dark romance,” but I’m standing by my opinion… this is morally off white 😂 The world is there. Irish mafia, danger, tension, but it’s not overwhelming. It feels more like a backdrop than the main event.
The MMC gives that same protective, loyal, code driven energy rather than cold, ruthless control. He’s got an edge, sure, but underneath it? Still very much one of those “good men in a bad world” types, which I’ve apparently decided I really enjoy as a palate cleanser. He is fiercely upset about the trauma the FMC went through, and with good reason. Terrible what happened to her.... It’s not as heavy or intense as darker mafia reads, which makes it super bingeable and honestly just… enjoyable without the emotional exhaustion.
And the Dublin setting continues to shine. There’s something about the atmosphere in these books that adds charm without losing that slight grit, it’s a really nice balance.

Overall: 4/5
Plot: 4/5
Spice Level: 3/5
Recommended: Yes
I jumped right into this one after finishing Dublin Rogue. I will say I enjoyed this one a lot more than the first one. Yes, it still had a touch of the insta-love trope, but Piper and Sean at least knew of each other because of their families. This is very much a Romeo and Juliet story. I absolutely HATED Piper's family for what happened to her, and that feeling made me not want to put this book down. I felt so bad for her and hated that, despite what she went through, she still felt that she was a disappointment to her family. Sean was a really great MMC. I did like seeing him stand up to his brother, especially considering Tag's relationship with Laine from book 1. As with book 1, I loved the relationship the MCs had with the brothers. It makes me excited to read the rest of the series. Overall, I liked this one better than the first book and think you'll find it engaging. The finale was really great and had me on the edge!

Audiobook Review
Duet narration by June DeBorahae and James Adams
Dublin Devil was a fast paced listen. I devoured this audiobook in one day and thoroughly enjoyed the storyline, characters, and narration. The Quinn brothers are exactly the kind of mafia men I like reading about. Piper and Sean are from crime families who do not do business the same. Piper is naive but also had a determination and strength about her. Her situation was cruel and made me dislike her family except for Rory. Sean and Piper were quick to fall in love/lust but it worked perfectly for them.
Narrators June DeBorahae and James Adams are both pretty new to me but found them easy to listen to. June was a great fit for Piper with her softness and James Adams did a great job with the Irish accent and portrayed Sean exactly as I imagined!

Dublin Devil
Sean and Piper come together after a horrible experience she had at the hands of potential business partners. Sean is the leader of an MC in Dublin and has the reputation to go along with the role. As they are from different sides of the river and have families locked in a battle Sean must keep Piper hidden in a safehouse while she heals from her ordeal. They have many choices to make and things to consider as they move forward in the story. June and Jameson did a great job voicing these characters. I an excited to see where the storline takes these families next.

Sooooo much better than book #1 - perhaps because I didn’t listen to it.
For the first book, I listened to the audiobook. Joe Arden was perfect, but I didn’t care for the female narrator. I decided I needed to find out more about the rival Dublin families and chose to actually read it. I am so glad I did.
Sean and Piper’s story is incredible. The way he cares for her after everything she goes through with her family is swoon worthy.
We get to learn more about the Quinn family and the McGuires - how their family dynamics work and how unhinged Mattie McGuire actually is.
Looking forward to book 3!

Dark, gritty, and full of tension.
This story dives into the dangerous world of rival Irish motorcycle clubs. When Piper McGuire—daughter of the Quinn family’s enemy—shows up on their side of the River Liffey beaten and desperate, she should be sent back immediately. Instead, the Quinn enforcer who runs the Dublin Devils’ army finds himself drawn to the one woman he’s supposed to hate…even though she’s promised to someone else.
A solid enemies-to-lovers romance with forbidden tension, danger, and a broody, morally gray hero. Perfect if you enjoy dark MC romance and rival family drama.

Dublin Devil is book #2 in the Emerald Isle Series by Jenn Madore and Carolina Mac. Piper McGuire is the daughter of a rival mafia gang of Sean Quinn’s family. One night he finds her after an altercation she had and took her to his family home and the sparks started to fly. This is an a spicy age gap romance that was narrated by June DeBorahae and Jameson Adams. The chemistry between these two voice actors was amazing and the Irish accents are 🥵!! I am 100% looking forward to the next book in this series.

Huge thumps down for me.
Big, bad, Irish mafia guys and they love and care about people, while they're involved with some illegal, messed up stuff! Everyone in this book is all cute and sweet and caring, except for Piper the main female character's family and a couple Russian guys. I also have a lot to say about her, but i'm not getting into it. But, her and the main guy fall in love in like a few days? What?! Come on! Let's just say, I didn't like her or the story, at all. How this book has a 4.5 blows my mind!? Did we all read the same book?

Another amusing short story, this lot do make me chuckle, story is simple and easy going especially for beginners! So glad sean and piper got their happy ending would of been nice to see him pop the question before the bonus chapter mind you.. but sweet all the same least it had better ending than book 1 with the 8 month gap!
Love the way they all so close as a family its how all families should be and so glad sean got justice because well they were brutes through and through.. but i guess thats the joys of over seas company for ya..

Another great Emerald Isles Mafia story.
Piper, a McGuire - rival Dublin mafia family for the Quinns, gets into a pickle. Sean, a Quinn, saves her life. A few twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat in the climax add a sweet anxiety. But a HEA lands nicely.
The "age gap" feels a bit weird when you stop to think about it (19 & 29), but its not glaringly obvious, so its easy to ignore. I won't deduct any stars for it.
The spice is nice, but not overwhelming and does not overpower the plot.
I definitely recommend this series, wholeheartedly.

Mafia boys with a conscience
Who is good and who is bad? Who makes that decision? The McGuires don’t even pretend to be good. They get what they want through force and dominance. The Quinns on the other hand do have a code they live by and protecting the innocent and the weak are high on their list of priorities. Sean is a goner as soon as he sees Piper, who comes from bad seed, but is a good person. Waiting for the next one.

This was my first book by this duo and I really enjoyed it a lot. They story kept me intrigued and I really loved the cast of characters. I also really appreciated with this being a mafia book that there was no cheating, which always make me mad in these kind of books, but I wish there was more on page spicy times.
I plan to go back and read book 1 along with finishing the series. Can’t wait to meet the other FMC’s.

Holy Quinn boys
Really enjoyed this book. Twists and turns keep you on your toes. Seeing the internal wars they are fighting within themselves while trying to keep streets and their family safe.
I cannot get my head around their money being refered to as dollars and bucks. It knocks me out of my zone. But that is the only negative I can come up with.
